A little on Lucy

Can I just talk about Lucy for bit? Sure, why not this is my blog and it is about my family and Lucy is a very entertaining little person. So yes, I am going to talk about her.

This little girl has grown overnight, as they say. Her ability to communicate astounds us daily and she walks around the house like a little adult. Let me expound upon this.

First and foremost she repeats EVERYTHING! That includes prayers, when we are frustrated, the songs we sing, the numbers we count and, as we found out today, even some of the things that she hears on her Mickey CD. Today we heard her say "oh boy!" That is not  something that either of us say normally, so I stood their perplexed until her Mickey music chimed in with a loud "oh boy!" She loves that CD, I tell you. Especially because she is tall enough to reach the volume controls and will turn it up to full volume so everyone in town can hear. Sorry next door neighbor!

She also is becoming a little demanding when it comes to play time. "Mommy, lego too! Mommy run fast! Mommy walk fast! Mommy dance too! Mommy read it! Mommy play too!" Yes, she says all those things and then expects you to follow through promptly. So we do our best to entertain her, singing, dancing and reading, oh yes and running circles in her room. It is exhausting, though pretty darn cute.

And the last little tidbit of hilarity is her new found love of undressing while falling asleep. In the last few weeks there have been several times where we have entered her room after she has fallen asleep to find her un-zipped past her diaper. In fact just recently she will actually ask for help, if she is not too tired to "zip up!". Yesterday was my favorite, we walked in to find her bare-armed and her PJs around her feet. She was asleep mind you, more than half naked in her crib. So we had to pick her up to re-dress her, all this time while she was half sleep, quite confused.

And for another time, here is a picture to whet your appetite. Lucy is getting ready for the baby. She has always loved swaddling her stuffed animals, but recently she took her baby caring skills to a new level. I also think this is because Jimmy wants to get out of changing diapers. He did this by the way, but that was after Lucy attempted to do it herself.
